X-Archives-Salt: a4c6fde8-f4c3-4cad-9c02-0d9c5ddf2476 X-Archives-Hash: 1e4182593eeea150c091a32c08f9d9e5 The qmail-1.03-r9 ebuild has been masked since September, it adds support for SMTP-TLS and qmail ldap. Currently it appears to be masked due to a problem compiling when USE = ssl ldap is set (the exact features I want to use....) Email sent to raker@gentoo.org (listed in package.mask, and as the responsible developer for all of net-mail) have gone unanswered. ( Since there are unimplemented hooks in the ebuild to solve this issue I suspect he already knows the solution, and there might be unforseen other issues...) I have a patch against the current CVS tree that gets it to the compile and work stage, at least for me. What is the best way to submit this to someone that cares? My ideas: 1. Create a bugzilla entry reporting the compile failure, and linking to the patch. 2. Saying to heck with doing something useful, since as long as overlay is available it works for me, and rsync won't trash it. 3. Connive nearby friend who is blessed with CVS access to apply patch. 4. Send constant "are we there yet" messages to developer until he/she cracks under strain and trades "holiday cheer" for automatic weapons fire. 5. Post non-sensical email message to gentoo-dev list. Not necessarily in that order.. ;-) Mark Farver -- "The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding." -- Justice Louis O.
